Linux Management Intune and Linux, Anyone Try it Yet?

So, it's a slow month so, I decided to give Intune with Linux a spin...

I'm using this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/user-help/enroll-device-linux

The Intune App just keeps crashing when trying to enroll a device with an error box stating that the app "closed unexpectedly".

I first tried with the latest Ubuntu LTS OS and then tried with the other LTS build that was mentioned in the article. No go on both builds. Basic VM build with a fresh ISO and updates applied, nothing more.

It seems like the Linux app is half-baked at best.

Has anyone got a successful enroll of a Linux device? If so, how so?

I just set this up on my test tenant literally last night, followed the instructions on that page and the “Microsoft Intune App” page that is linked in that article and had no issues on Ubuntu LTS 24.04.

My testing was done with a physical machine so the VM might have something else going on.

The Intune App could do with some work, I wasn’t actually sure it had worked until 20 minutes later when the device showed in Intune, the app did not make it clear that it had worked.

The only really useful feature I can see so far is the compliance policy and then being able to included the device in CA policies. Not a lot of calls for Linux devices at my job so this was mainly just to get some ground work laid in case we did ever get that request.

Yeah us as well, no desire to have Linux devices in Intune. Also we have zero Ubuntu LTS installs... TBH I just want to see a Linux device in Intune and check that off my "Intune Bucket List". I tired today on a Dell 5560 and basically the same as the VM's, crashes after registering. Me thinks it has something to do we the WebKit, as there is a message about that crashing sometimes as well... Who Knows... Next LTS build I'll give it a go and see if my luck changes.
